The comparisons with us and Atletico isn't a good thing at all. It shows that Torres could think of leaving soon if things don't change drastically for the better. What we knew already, but it's different when you see him saying it.
Yeah all those players are massive losses. Bigger than what we thought initially with regards to Sami and Arbeloa.
Xabi, though, was obvious. He was a touch of class for us in midfield, and a great link from back to front for us which we've desperately been lacking this season. He's the type of player I'm talking about in the weeks matches thread, quick thinker, classy player. Vitally important to any team and we haven't replaced him.

So Torres reckons trying to fill the void left by Alonso with Lucas was a big no no too.
he'll be here next season but to rubbish seasons in a row and he'll be off and I wouldn't blame him
Yes, he should be played in the middle.
a) Then Rafa is an idiot for i) selling the engine (which he didn't have to) and ii) not replacing him with a similar player
b) Rafa substituted our 'engine' with Lucas & a few appearances from Aqua. Terrible.
c) Note the importance Torres puts on Sami's presence. We've missed that a lot.
d) I am not surprised Torres has spoken of Rafa highly again - but I wonder if he may have been shifted at Brum this weekend.

Yep, I've been thinking about this for a while now.
What we should have done when Xabi left, was to move Gerrard down in a central midfield role and bought a new nr 10. That could play behind Torres or upfront with him.
That player should have been Tevez or someone similar.
We could have bought another midfielder aswell. Cana went to Sunderland for 5 mill £, and would have been an excellent pick up.
Would have changed the season dramatically.

maybe rafa was reluctant to break up the most prolific forward line in the league.

Sneijder would've been an excellent signing, but we'd have been facing the same problem we have with Aquilani - doesn't fit into the defensive 'two'.
I do wonder what Rafa had planned for this season though. Whether Aquilani was meant to walk straight into the side and make us more attacking after the team had 'coped' in his absence.

I think people have watched Cana on Match of the Day once, and thus formed an opinion on him for life.
I watch Sunderland more than anyone on this Forum, I can guarantee that, and he's really not all that folks.
[/quote]
I watched them quite a lot aswell, and there's a reason he was made their captain. He was also a very good player for Marseille. I'm saying he could have been a back up. Strong, decent passer and tackler of the ball and good in the air. Better than Lucas at least.
Gerrard - Mascher obvs the preferred pairing.

Maybe he had to, if the player that was availeble and most similar to Xabi in passing ability and being an engine, was Stevie. Getting in a new nr 10, would have given Rafa even more options..

Yeah, I've commented on this a few times. The Aquilani signing - especially if you're going to continue with Gerrard in the hole - doesn't make sense.
I guess he thought Aqui was going to be better than he is, and/or the combo of Lucas and Masher would have been adequate enough.
That, and not planning on going another season with Torres out injured for half of it.

I have no idea why rafa feels the defensive two have to be 'defensive', one holding midfielder should be enough the other central midfielder should be creative either in a deep position or an advanced position.

I still wouldn't break it up.
it shouldn't be that hard to find a CM who offers more going forwards than lucas. I will be fair to lucas though I think a lot of the reason he doesn't get forwards is because he is instructed to hang back, this wasn't a problem for xabi as he can hurt teams from a deep position but lucas simply doesn't have the passing range so should be given licence to get forwards.

I think rafa is a top manager (even now) but the purchase of keane was fucking IDIOCY, I said it at the time and absolutely NOTHING changed my mind the entire time keane was here. what a fucking waste of 20 million quid. you have the most prolific forward line in the league so where the fuck does keane fit? he sould have taken that money and bought the best wide player he could lay his hands on, just think of the wide players you could buy for 20 million pounds. major major fuck up.
this doesn't have a lot to do with CM but the fact is had we bought that wide player and he turned out to be a success then the load on CM now to be creative would be reduced.

I suggested this at the time. Torres is right - players like Xabi are rare. So rare in fact that there wasn't really a like-for-like player available when we sold him. There were certainly more potential support strikers we could have gone for than Xabi clones. Diego was my preference but there were others.
We either had to find a good fit, or adapt the way we play. Aquilani's signing and Benitez's talk of them being 'different' kinds of player looked like an intention to adapt the way we play. However, it is partly because we haven't adapted the way we play to accommodate for Xabi's loss, that we have struggled so badly this season.

Can we put to bed the myth that we spent 20m on Keane pls? He would of cost us this if he stayed for the duration. He didnt, so he didnt.

Gerrard needs to be our engine. He was born for this job. If we'd never had Alonso we wouldn't be confused about this point.
[/quote]
Thats horseshit because we DID have alonso, and we WERE a better team with him! Its Rafas fault that he's not here. Its Rafas fault by trying to replace him with Gareth fucking Barry (granted Alonso hadnt a great season the year before, but Gareth fucking Barry) and then eventually replacing him with the most injury prone player in Seria A.
Im also glad that Gerrard hasnt been asked to sit in midfield all season and be our engine because incase you havent been paying attention he's been shit this year. Also he's not the engine of the english team, nor is he played in the centre there either.....so not played in his born for position by two apparent world class managers!! Could it be that they see what us folk cant and that he is in fact better further up the pitch (when on top form) If it wasnt for mascher this season we'd be seriously fucked.
Its just frustration after frustration. We have to do something quick or face losing our best players. And because of Rafas stubbornness in general and retardedness in the transfer market we're not likely to do anything about it soon!
Its either that or we can just all blame Gareth fucking Barry!

He bought Aquilani who I assume would play the No10 role with Gerrard dropping back. But lack of form has dictated this too risky to try.

Gerrard's best position is obviously open to debate but if he had been playing in Lucas's place in the centre of midfield this season, then I'd wager we'd be much closer to fourth place.
And Gerrard has spent much of his time for England under Capello on the left wing. Do you suppose that Capello thinks that is his best position or do you think perhaps he's trying to field the best team available to him?

Also he's not the engine of the english team, nor is he played in the centre there either.....so not played in his born for position by two apparent world class managers!! Could it be that they see what us folk cant and that he is in fact better further up the pitch (when on top form) If it wasnt for mascher this season we'd be seriously fucked.
Its just frustration after frustration. We have to do something quick or face losing our best players. And because of Rafas stubbornness in general and retardedness in the transfer market we're not likely to do anything about it soon!
Its either that or we can just all blame Gareth fucking Barry!

Gerrard's best position is obviously open to debate but if he had been playing in Lucas's place in the centre of midfield this season, then I'd wager we'd be much closer to fourth place.
And Gerrard has spent much of his time for England under Capello on the left wing. Do you suppose that Capello thinks that is his best position or do you think perhaps he's trying to field the best team available to him?
